I hit one with my Ramcharger. Similar setup to Joe with the guard on the frame. I have used it to move small trees that were in the way. Anyway, the deer bounced off of that and rolled around the passenger side and folded the mirror in and left a butt print on the door.

I hit one a few years ago with the Durango. Broke the headlight and dented the fender and was still $1800. A whole herd crossed in front of me at night. I hit the smallest as there was no way I would stop in time.

Another time, driving my parents and sister and brother in law home from Thanksgiving a herd crossed in front of us. We were in a sports sedan and even though we would not have stopped in time I treated it like a rolling chicane. Missed all the suckers. Mom, of course, did not enjoy the ride.

There are about a dozen other near misses, but that is part of driving in WI.

About 5 miles from our house a couple were killed when they hit a horse. Another couple were nearly killed when they hit one, but they were still going fast enough it landed in the back seat, crushing the roof.

And then there are skunks.
